The $100-million project, called Seton Medical Center Harker Heights, broke ground at 850 W. Central Expressway on April 4. It is scheduled to open in fall 2012. The 83-bed facility will total 192,400 square feet and create 1,967 jobs within 10 years, officials estimate.

Maxfield will assume the top position on April 25. He worked previously with Brownwood Regional Medical Center, where he served as CEO for nearly seven years. The Temple native was also assistant administrator and associate executive director of operations for Scott & White Memorial Hospital and Clinic. In the past, he held CEO positions at Coryell Memorial Hospital and Burleson Memorial Hospital.

The Harker Heights facility is a joint venture between Seton and Plano-based LHP Hospital Group Inc. Rendina Cos. and a group of specialist doctors are also planning a 60,000-square-foot medical office on the Harker Heights campus. The groups announced the project last December.

Seton operates 24 clinical locations in Texas, including major medical centers, community hospitals, mental health, primary care and other facilities. The organization is affiliated with Ascension Health.
